PRIMARY -LAW DEFENDED
'Few Who Would Dictate and Forbid
Tarty Gatherings Are Likened to
King George In Speech by
J. H. Ilevenue.
OREGON CITY, Or., July 30. (Special.)
In pfrfect harmony -the "Republican' as
sembly of Clackamas" County this after
noon decided to recommend candidates
for county offices, and then placed . a
complete ticket in the field, from Sj.ate.
Senator to Surveyor. Even the most
rabid anti-assembly men admit that the
ticket is one of the strongest named by
the Republicans of Clackamas County
for many years. The geographical situa
tion was carefully studied by all of the
delegates in making the nominations,
with the result that all of the offices did
not go to Oregon City, as has been the
case ever since the direct primary law
was placed in operation. The assembly
ticket follows:
State Senator L. D." Walker, of Canby.
Representatives J. W. Exon, of Dover;
Ir. H. S. Mount, of Oregon City, and
J. S. Toder, of Needy.
Judge Charles T. f ooze, of Gladstone.
'ominlssioner Nicholas Blair, of Kil
lin. Sheriff IS. C. Hackett. of Harding.
.Clerk C. M. T,ake, of Boring.
Recorder K. P. Dedtnan, of Clackamas.
" Treasurer James A. Tufts, of Glad
stone. Coroner Dr. Thomas J. Fox, of Oregon
City.
Surveyor D. T. Mcldrum, of Oak Grove.
"Primary Law Defended, t
There seems to be an impression that
the assembly is a blow at the primary
law." said Chairman John II. Gibson, of
Harmony Precinct, in calling the assem
bly to order, "but let me say there lias
not been a single man to whom I have
talked who has ever suggested such a
procedure. The Legislature would never
dare to repeal a law that has been adopt
ed by tho people. The primary law is
the best measure ever enacted, and I
shall use all my efforts to uphold and
defend it. The Democrats have never
put up a ticket that was not agreed upon
in private conference. Iet.us indorse the
best men. and let's riot have any wire
pulling. I have been charged with being
u chronic omoeseeker and I want; to say
to you there is not an office In the gift
of this county that could be handed to me'
on a silver platter."
M. J. Lee, of Canby, said the majority
of tho members of the Republican party
favor organization, and the .party cannot
accomplish anything without it.
"X" would right to-ther last ditch." said
"Mr. Lee, "any attempt to destroy the
direct primary law. We are going to
have' a tight to reorganize the party arid
to do this yoti have got to recommend
trood, clean men. Whether it is good
i"" i"r inn assemniy 10 recommend a.
hi whs time is lor you to aeciae.
Upon a motion of Mr. Lee to recom
mend candidates for county offices. L.
L. Porter, of West Oregon City, said
the assembly had adjourned two week
ago to reconvene for that particular
purpose.
nictation of Few Fails.
"If the ticket . we recommend" sain
Mr. Porter, "is one that meets the ap
proval of the" Republicans, then it will
be nominated. Nearly every other
county in the state has recommended
candidates. Are we going to lay down
st the dictation of a few men? I be
lieve it is entirely within the province
of the delegates here to recommen4
candidates."
K. I'. Carter, of ' Gladstone, George
Randall and Charles II. Dye, in tho
interest or party harmony, did not
favor the recommendation of candi
dates. John 1 Clark offered a resolu
tion to indorse the state assembly
ticket and adjourn, but it was votd
down, and Ws original motion pre
vailed, Charles A. Miller said fair
minded men should rule.
"One or twr. men are trying to rule
the Republican party in Clackamas
County." said Mr. Miller. "One or two
men tried to break up the meeting of
tho county central committee. One or
two men wrote a letter denouncing the
assembly and . got . another man to
ign n. I do , not want the Republican
party to be in the hands of one or
two men or a-doxfn men."
"When did the Republican partv
lose 'H'a rWit to assemble?" asked J
H. Revenue.. of Sandy. "King George
would not let the , American people
assemble, and we have another Kins
lieorge in this county who does not
want us to assemble. We have a right
to recommend c ndidates. and would
have the right if only .ten of us-were
here."
Nominations Made Vnauimotis.
During the balloting for candidates
the utmost harmony and good will pre
vailed. All of the nominations, except
those for Judge, .Recorder and Com
missioner, were made by acclamation,
and every nomination was made unan
imous. K. W. rsartlett, of Estacad;-,
was nominated for State Senator, but
withdrew in Mr. Walker's favor. Blair
secured the indorsement for Commis
sioner over ffounsell on a question of
geographical location.
Clmirman Gibson was authorized to
name an executive committee of five,
with himself as chairman, to manage
the assembly campaign and he will
also appoint a committeeman from
each precinct to be taken from the
delegates to the county assembly to
fill any vacancies that may occur. It
Is possible that L. D. Walker, for Sen
ator, will decline to make the race
against George C. Browneil. who is
running independent of trie assembly.
In view of the fact that County Judge
Dlmlck. of this city, Is a candidate for
the nomination of Governor, the as
sembly did not indorse the state as
sembly ticket, feeling that a certain
courtesy was doe to Dimick. The po
sitton of the assembly on this point
was made plain'by Chairman Gibson.

ROSEBURG, Or., July 30. (Special.)
With every precinct in Douglas
County represented. Republican met
in assembly here today and recom
mended candidates for a county ticket.

members of the Republican party, af
filiated with the assembly, of holding
secret caucuses to which no' persons
other than the "favored " few" : were
Invited.
"I happen' to know," said Mr. Kddy,
"that there was a caucus held in Rose
burg last night, ,and X 'am apprised
that a slate was i framed for today's
assembly. I consider such procedure
unfair.- and am inclined to believe it
will cost the Republican party sev
eral hundred votes in Douglas County."
Concluding his address, Mr. Eddv
startled the members of the delega-
ti6n by submitting the following reso
lution:
"Resolved, That the assembly hereby
ratify the list of candidates recom-'
mended to the Republican party of
Oregon by the reeent state assembly.
"itesolved. That the assembly make
no recommendations for county
offices."
Hardly had the chairman read the
resolution when several delegates
Jumped to their feet, among them At
torney George N'euner and Attorney C.
S. Jackson. Mr. Neuner branded Mr.
Eddy's statements relative to -the "se
cret caucus as false and in explana
tion said that the meeting referred to
was simply an informal gathering of
a few men who wished to discuss the
political situation with a view of de
termining available candidates. He
said that there was no slate prepared
as contended.
Before Mr. Eddy could press the as
sembly to take action on the resolu
tion, c. fa. JacKson presented an amend
ment and asked the privilege of the
chairman to have the closing argu
ment. The amendment read:
"Resolved. That the assembly now
proceed in regular course of business
and suggest candidates for county
offices.
A general discussion then prevailed,
and it was finally decided to adjourn
until afternoon. In the meantime dif
ferences had been forgotten and the
afternoon's session might . have been
likened to a love feast.
- No attempt was made on the part
of either Mr. Jackson or Mr. Eddy to
pursuade the assembly to dispose of
either the resolution or amendment. On
the contrary, the officers were sug
gested and evidence of" the Impending
contest vanished.
Several addresses were delivered dur
ing the day, notable among the orators,
Binger Hermann. He declared that the
ticket suggested was the best ever
placed before the voters of Douglas
County, and should be elected with
out difficulty.

ceive the highest vote of said party

tion 37, of the direct primary law."
Representative McCredie was called
upon for a speech and he responded
and spoke for an hour, defending his
stand for voting with the regulars dur
ing 'his term 'in Congress. His -name
was the signal for tumultuous applause,
which did not subside for several min
utes. The convention was called to order
by A. J. Bigham, chairman of the cen
tral committee, and J. P. Stapleton was
nominated as temporary chairman by

Superior judge for nearly two terms.
Representative McCredie told the as
semblied delegates the story of his
life from the time he attended the little
red schoolhouse back in Iowa.
In speaking of Polndexter, Mr. Mc
Credie said: "Mr. Polndexter and I
differ extremely In our opinions on
various questions that come up.
"Senator Jones is a good man and I
will say here that you would have to
rake the State of Washington a long
time before you would find a better
Senator than Mr. Jones. I will always
be a Jones man
- "In speaking of indorsing a candi
date for Senator west of the moun
tains. I will say that I think we are
entitled to it. Two-thirds of the pop
ulation live west of the mountains
and one-third east of them, so I think
that we should at least have one Sen
ator to look after our interests.
"I have always been an admirer of
William H. Taft. I have found that
Theodore Roosevelt is also an admirer
of William H Taft. In Washington
we Republicans did have some differ
ences, but sot so much as you may
have been led to believe by the reports
sent .out from there. When Roasevelt
was in Africa we heard it rumored in
Washington that when he came back
he would wield his big stick and crush
a number of us regular Republicans;
and until he landed on American soil,
the rumor persisted, but I have yet to
find th&t he has crushed any of us.
Some of our colleagues (referring to
the insurgents) made it a point to go
to visit Mr. Roosevelt, and when they
came away from his home they always
wore a smile. But-he-has spoken but
once or twice, and then only did he
speak to deny certain stories that were
too strong for him."

choice. This question has been a bone
of contention in both political parties,
with the result that all party leaders
are undecided and voters are at sea.
In order " to make the decision binding-,
providing- that the test case is re
sorted to,-it will be carried direct to
the Supreme Court of the' state with
the petition that -an early opinion be
filed. In stipulating the case it will be
assumed by the Attorney--General that
the primary election has taken place
and that first and second-choice votes
had been cast for the Republican Gub
ernatorial nominees. Governor James
H. Brady and George TV. Fletcher.- It
will be contended that the second
choice feature of the primary la not
mandatory,, and that an elector voting
for first choice and not second is enti
tled to bis vote being counted.
The Attorney-General has positively
refused to take action. In view of the
fact that he believed that his office
was not the place from which such a
decision should come; that the Supreme
Court of -the state is the tribunal to
pass upon . it- .
While the primary law is creating a
great deal of dissatisfaction, electors
and candidates for offices are endeavor
ing to comply with its terms so far as
nominations are . concerned. Attempts
to form slates have not only been pre
vented, but in many Instances those
who endeavored to manipulate these
slates have been forced to retire into
political oblivion. Registrations for
electors open in August.

tions were extended in eve-y direction
and committees were appointed in the
various lodges to "make arrangements
for their - members, until it is plainly
evident that the reunion and clambake
to be held at Astoria and Seaside on
August 6 and 7 will be one of the
greatest events of Its kind ever held
on the North Pacific Coast.
The Astoria Elks will serve over two
tons of clams of five different varieties
found on the Oregon, and Washington
coasts. Three hundred gallons of the
famous Clatsop Beach clam chowder
will be served. The table will be 850
feet in length, upon which, at equal
distances, will be laid the finest speci
mens of the royal Chinook salmon ob
tainable on the Lower Columbia River.
These fish will be stuffed, baked and
garnished, and laid head to tail along
the entire length, of the table.
The : baking of , the olams will be a
very interesting process. A great
trench will be dug In the rocks, 30
Inches wide and about 18 Inches deep,
in which fires will be built and main
tained until the rocks on the sides and
bottom of the trench are sufficiently
heated, then the ashes and embers
will be removed and the clams laid in
the hot rocks. They will then be cov
ered with a coat of new-mown hay.
and over the top of the rocks will be
spread ordinary burlap sacks, upon
which will be poured water. The water,
seeping through and coming in con
tact with the hot rocks, generates
steam, which, confined about the clams,
cooks them in a manner far superior
to any other known method. Roasting
ears of green corn are also placed in
t..e pit, and potatoes and other vege
tables, and all cooked in this delicious
way.
The ' clambake is to be held on a
beautiful meadow and lawn, with the
Necanlcum River on one side and the
Pacific Ocean on the other. It is un
der the lea of the - famous Tillamook
Head, sheltered from storms in Vv In
ter, and has been the location of clam
bakes from prehistoric times.
A large circus tent has been secured
and placed on the grounds, in which
the social session will be held on Sat
urday night, August 6, at 8:30. Each
of the visiting lodges will conduct a
portion of this great session, and every
lodge Is arranging some special Btunt.
After the social session, a gigantic
bonfire will be held . on . the beach,
where refreshments will be served and
where there will be a concert by- the
band. -
Sunday, August 7. at 1 o'clock, the
clam pits will be opened, and the del
icacies of the sea and water, prepared
by expert cooks, will be served steam
ing hot.
It Is estimated that -6000 Elks will
attend this great festivity. The Dalles
Lodge has chartered the steamer Dalles
City, and is coming straight through
to Astoria in a body: Portland lodge
